Meg’s Mashables Invites Fans to Bring MASHLANDIA to Life.

At a panel during the 2026 New York Comic Con, the creator-driven brand announced a new animated adventure, MASHLANDIA, that will bring its imaginative world of chaotic creature combos, known as MASHABLES, to life as an original animated series. MASHLANDIA will be an original, human-made, 2D animated series.

Rather than waiting for a traditional network or studio greenlight, Meg’s Mashables is empowering its community to help make the first episode possible. Following the NYCC panel on October 9, Meg’s Mashables launched its BackerKit crowdfunding campaign (running through November 5, 2026), inviting fans, animation enthusiasts, collectors, and industry supporters to help bring its extraordinary world to the screen. This is not another crowdfunding campaign. It’s an invitation to help build an entertainment franchise from the ground up.

From an artist’s imagination to a growing brand

Artist and creator Meg founded Meg’s Mashables with a delightfully simple premise: combine animals and unexpected elements to create entirely new creatures.

The concept resonated with an audience drawn to Meg’s distinctive artwork, playful storytelling, and celebration of individuality. Today, the brand encompasses original characters, collectible plushies, stickers, pins, prints, and more, supported by an engaged community across social media, conventions, and crowdfunding platforms

With more than 3,500 BackerKit members and four previously fulfilled projects, Meg’s Mashables has demonstrated something increasingly valuable in today’s entertainment marketplace: an audience willing to support original intellectual property directly.

Beyond the whimsical designs lies a message that gives the property emotional resonance. Mashables celebrates creativity, curiosity, acceptance, and the idea that nobody needs to fit neatly into a predetermined box. Like people, every Mashable is wonderfully unique.

The World Of Mashlandia

The new animated adventure will introduce audiences to Jane, an impulsive young artist determined to discover and document the extraordinary creatures inhabiting a mysterious world.

Alongside Jane are K00, the science-minded guardian robot who raised her, and Cork, an energetic corgi-shark hybrid whose enthusiasm frequently leads to chaos. Together, they explore fantastical landscapes, encounter strange new Mashables, and uncover mysteries surrounding the world they inhabit.

Complicating their adventures is Chaotica, a mischievous, shape-shifting antagonist whose plans threaten the very existence of MASHLANDIA.

Blending comedy, adventure, imaginative worldbuilding, and a healthy dose of absurdity, the proposed 11-minute animated pilot introduces a universe with virtually limitless storytelling possibilities.

An impressive cast brings the mashlandia chaos to life

The creative team has attracted an exciting ensemble of entertainment talent.

• Ross Marquand, known for The Walking Dead and various Marvel productions, is attached to voice Chaotica.
• Anna Brisbin, widely recognized as Brizzy Voices, will voice Jane, while award-winning actor and improviser Avery Sharpe-Steele brings Cork to life.
• Musician and creator Matt Hobbs, is attached to compose the soundtrack and has previously worked with Meg to create theme songs for current plushies, such as the Bumblecorn (bumble bee + unicorn), Cacthog (cactus + hedgehog), Snurtle (snake + turtle), and many more.
• Marty Grabstein joins the cast as Fleep, the wonderfully quirky flamingo-sheep hybrid.

More than an animated series

MASHLANDIA represents an exciting evolution for Meg’s Mashables as a brand.

Its original characters, imaginative creature combinations, and established collectible business create opportunities to expand into publishing, games, toys, apparel, entertainment, and collaborative brand experiences.

MASHLANDIA is more than an animated series; it’s a chance for fans to be part of a story that supports human-made art that’s not afraid to be quirky, chaotic, and kind.
